重要变化

• Stack Upgrades:

  Stack	Version in Electron 6	Version in Electron 7	What's New
  Chromium	76.0.3809.146	78.0.3905.1	77, 78
  V8	7.6	7.8	7.7, 7.8
  Node.js	12.4.0	12.8.1	12.5, 12.6, 12.7, 12.8, 12.8.1

• Added Windows on Arm (64 bit) release. #18591, #20112

• Added ipcRenderer.invoke() and ipcMain.handle() for asynchronous request/response-style IPC. These are strongly recommended over the remote module. See this "Electron’s ‘remote’ module considered harmful" blog post for more information. #18449

• Added nativeTheme API to read and respond to changes in the OS's theme and color scheme. #19758, #20486

• Switched to a new TypeScript Definitions generator. The resulting definitions are more precise; so if your TypeScript build fails, this is the likely cause. #18103

See the 7.0.0 release notes for a longer list of changes.

终止对 4.x.y 的支持

Electron 4.x.y has reached end-of-support as per the project's support policy. 我们鼓励开发者将应用程序升级到更新的 Electron 版本。

应用反馈项目

We continue to use our App Feedback Program for testing. Projects who participate in this program test Electron betas on their apps; and in return, the new bugs they find are prioritized for the stable release. If you'd like to participate or learn more, check out our blog post about the program.

接下来

在短期内，您可以期待团队继续专注于跟上构成 Electron 的主要组件的开发，包括 Chromium、Node 和 V8。 尽管我们谨慎地避免对发布日期做出承诺，但我们的计划是大约每季度发布一次 Electron 的新主要版本以及这些组件的新版本。 暂定 8.0.0 时间表 展示了 Electron 8 开发生命周期中的关键日期。 Also, see our versioning document for more detailed information about versioning in Electron.
